Recently brought a Replacement Turbo (2nd hand) fitted it all back up, Took car for a little blip up road,not nothing mad, and as soon as it comes on boost its making a loud whistling/whirling noise!!! Never made this noise before... Any ideas...

thanks

 

Turbo is either fucked or you've got a boost leak somewhere?

 

Ment too have come off a car with no problems.. Checked pipes, they all seem ok...

 

Errr the 2nd hand turbo you bought is on its way out m8 thats a sure sign

 

I had a similiar problem, the oil feed was blocked inside the turbo, which caused the bearings to colloapse, and so one of the fins got distorted on the houseing.. I sugguest you take the oil drain off the turbo and see if your getting oil run through it!

 

Def getting oil threw the Turbo, one of the 1st things i checked... I brought the turbo from Jano, his assured me it was fine..

 

don't use the car with that turbo again. sounds like the bearings

 

Just don't forget it could be a genuine mistake, give Jano a chance to sort things for you. Could even have been dropped by the courier which could easily knacker it.

 

Yea Jano is sound, More than helpful.. I went and picked turbo up from him, prob something stupid ive not put on right..

 

Going Janos Now, his gonna have a look... Helpful geeza

 

Strange? That was a really good turbo that came from Turbo Technics.

Not the end of the world, what ever it is we can fix it.

Ill see you soon.

 

TOP TOP MAN.... Brought my car too Oddkidd Creations, thing was running like a dog.. It Come out driving like a new motor and didn't cost an arm and a leg, got advised too go here bye few mates, and definately shall be back..

Thanks for Everything Mate..


see ya soon

 

cheap bastard lol

 

Glad it's sorted what was up with it?

 

Lol, what was right with it is more the question, Co Levels were @ 0.2, shud have been 3.0 or there abouts.. Adjusted my idle, the actuator was upside down lol, i hadn't known what had been done 2 car previously, but it had a intenal bleed valve while hooked up too the amal valve, it had diff size pips connected together..totally wrong, but he spent the time too correct it all, now sits at a bar of boost and it is drives spot on... And when he said the price i thought he was joking, cheapppppppp...

 

so nothing wrong with the turbo then lol, glad its all sorted though. just goes to show things may not always be hunki dori under the bonnet so worth checking it all first 8)

 

Yea Turbo was sound mate, (Think it was more me being paranoid) but having said that, the plenum pipe too intercooler was sitting pissed, so sorted that..I drove over 2 janos with out getting it on boost, just 2 b on safe side. But definately true what you say, things look ok,but arent, unless you know what is what.Def worth the trip.. Glad its sorted...

 

No problem, glad its sorted for you.




Where do you start lol. Loads was wrong tbh. Im surprised it even made it to me.

The main things was the lack of fuel 0.15%
Ignition timing over 19degree
No bleed off the idle screw
Throttle set to half throttle at idle
Throttle stop wound out so far the butterfly was open way too much
Fuel pump wiring a little suspect
Bleed valve and amal valve piped together with the smallest i.d pipe making it overboost
Then the normal stuff that needs tweaking and adjusting.


Pretty much the same as the other 2 MFi cars setup today had the same common faults.

 

glad its sorted, wish u werent so far away,heard nothing but good things about OKC ,

 

Worth the Journey mate
